Análisis y rediseño de un website sobre divulgación científica para niños y jóvenes en edad escolar.

Ofrecer información científica de divulgación en un web, denominado 'Explora', dirigido a niños y jóvenes en edad escolar, ofreciendo un espacio de encuentro con el mundo científico fuera de la educación formal. Necesidad de actualizar la web periódicamente con contenidos actuales. Objeto del trabajo. 'Programa Explora-Conicyt': http://www.conicyt.cl/explora/. Investigación sobre literatura científica, investigación aplicada a la web Explora. Revisión bibliográfica, revisión de webs de carácter educativo. Análisis de contenido, análisis comparativo, análisis conceptual. Internet y la World Wide Web han cambiado nuestra manera de trabajar, de comunicarnos, de relacionarnos con otros, de acceder a la información y de construir nuestro mundo. Explora publicó su sitio en Internet en 1996, dirigida a ofrecer información científica de divulgación a niños y jóvenes en edad escolar. Poner a disposición de los interesados un lugar de encuentro con el mundo científico fuera del ámbito de la educación formal. El crecimiento constante y la evolución de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación hacen necesario renovar dicha web. La investigación pretende dar respuesta a estos interrogantes, está organizada en cuatro capítulos, en el primero realiza un resumen sobre la historia de Internet, en segundo contextualiza la historia de Chile en la incorporación a la sociedad digital, el tercero recoge la evolución que han experimentado los sitios web tanto desde la perspectiva de diseño como de los contenidos que ofrecen, finalmente el último capítulo recoge la propuesta de renovación de la web del programa Explora, para que sea actualizado en el primer semestre del año 2001. El gran desafío actual para la educación consiste en enseñar a gestionar la información, su utilización y el manejo de los recursos disponibles. Se están realizando grandes desarrollos de infraestructuras de redes en América latina que se han de acompañar con desarrollos educativos. La web 'explora' ha sido creada para ofertar: nuevas posibilidades educativas a los jóvenes, ofrecer recursos y novedades tecnológicas o de interés que ofrece Internet, basándose en un carácter democrático y no discriminatorio; fomentar y difundir conocimientos científicos y desarrollar el carácter democrático. Ofrece a los profesores un recurso digital, dinámico donde la escuela se convierta en un lugar neurálgico para el desarrollo de la sociedad digital. Se hace necesario establecer una corriente crítica en los usuarios de las tecnologías digitales, descubriendo las posibilidades que ofrece y luchando contra los riesgos que su uso conlleva.

Grabbing attention while reading website pages: the influence of verbal emotional cues in advertising

The increasing use of the World Wide Web has promised a huge advertising platform for marketers. Investment in online advertising is growing and is expected to overcome traditional media. However, recent studies have reported that users avoid looking at advertising displayed on the World Wide Web. This study aimed at examining the impact of verbal emotional cues (negative/neutral/positive) to capture attention on website’s advertising areas through an eye tracker system. The results revealed significant statistical differences between fixations to negative, positive words and neutral words. Significant differences between the number of fixations and recognition of the target words were found only for the negative valence words. We conclude that negative emotional words could play a major role on user attention to advertising.

Persuasive technology and users acceptance of e-commerce: users perceptions of website persuasiveness

Persuasive technologies have been extensively applied in the context of e-commerce for the purpose of marketing, enhancing system credibility, and motivating users to adopt the systems. Recognising that persuasion impacts on consumer behaviour to purchase online have not been investigated previously. This study reviews theories of technology acceptance, and identifies their limitation in not considering the effect of persuasive technologies when determining user online technology acceptance. The study proposes a theoretical model that considers the effect of persuasive technologies on consumer acceptance of e-commerce websites; with consideration of other related variables, i.e. trust and technological attributes. Moreover the paper proposes a model based on the UTAUT2, which contains relevant contributing factors; including the concept of perceived persuasiveness.

Do virtual platforms impact user behavior? An experimental comparison between messages on the company's website and Facebook page.

Companies have looked for many new ways to communicate with their customers. In the current scenario, Facebook has proven to be an efficient communication tool between consumers and businesses. This study aims to understand the differences in the complaint messages sent to companies, through an experiment that measured the emotional tone and the lack of formality in each message received by the website and the Facebook page of the company. As expected, people are more informal on Facebook. However, contrary to our intuition, participants tended to display more emotions on the company website. The social norms theory and the impression management contributed to explain the phenomena found.

Cozinha da Madeira website: the online touchpoint for a sustainability oriented service of Madeira Island

Over the past several years technology has been evolving in a way that it has become crucial for most businesses and companies to have interactive technology enabled touchpoints available online. Such interactive touchpoints can be developed as mobile application, webpages, or even through social networks. In the end such touchpoints will most surely represent the most easily reachable and marketable side of the business. Today selling a product alone is no longer enough to make consumers satisfied and complete, businesses and business models are changing. Increasingly, companies are choosing to not just sell products but to combine both sale and service. These service-based approaches will provide the client with a unique and personalized experience of what the company is selling. By selling a service the company transmits values that are more complex than the simple selling of a product. A service is something immaterial, happens over time and exists in the moment of the delivery. When conceiving and designing services, the use of the new technologies becomes a crucial step in order to craft touchpoints that facilitate the whole experience cycle of the service, from attracting, orienting, interacting and retaining the client, as well as providing later support to the consumer to advocate for the service itself. This thesis reports on the design and implementation of the online touchpoint of Cozinha da Madeira, which is a service designed to support tourism, specifically promoting the discovery of tradition and landscapes in the island of Madeira. Such touchpoint developed in the form of a website, embodies completely or partially various stages of the Service Experience cycle, from attracting and connecting, orienting, interacting as well as retaining and advocating. Through this thesis we will describe the design and implementation of such touchpoint as well as the evaluation and possible future implications.
